Our friends electric

Ruth La Ferla of the NY Times encourages you to take a look around—you'll soon see it's not just us nerds that are obsessed with robots, it's all of society, from the robomates of The Stepford Wives and I, Robot
(it's crazy how there weren't robots in films before this year) to the south-facing mannequins in the Prada store in New York. Or maybe it's just now that she's been looking around for robots she's seeing them everywhere. Either way we'll be happy as long as they keep working on something that'll eventually be able to both clean our bathroom for us
and keep us company on those lonely nights.
